I guess I never posted this last week! Sorry for the delay!



Week 2:
I was unfortunately only able to collect one coworker to perform the VTS with. Due to this week 
being Catholic Schools Week, we have been on a special schedule every day, all week. We were 
cut down on our plan periods and when we have one, we are very limited on time to get things 
done. So you can say its been crazy around here and not a lot of people were willing to give up 
all their time this week.
 
But needless to say… I worked with what I had. I presented the Winslow Homer work, “Dad’s
 Coming”. She was able to quickly find things within the picture and support what she was saying 
with evidence.  She liked the higher order thinking skills that were required for this task. She did 
not come up with a story line that followed the title. After she asked for the title of the work, she 
was surprised with the answer. She created a story of a “day at the beach”. She thought that this 
was a great way to enhance your viewing experience and make you think about the meanings 
behind a work.
 
She was impressed with the teaching methods and the steps in VTS. She asked multiple questions 
about the VTS process and how she would be able to use it in her classroom. She stated that she 
would like to come back when I perform this strategy in the classroom setting. I told her that I 
would welcome her to come when we do this. I am not sure if she will be able to because we 
have the same plan and teaching times. We will see.
